[CES 2011] Latest FyreTV product supports wireless HD

Distributor FyreTV’s latest product supports wireless HD audio and visual content from over one hundred adult entertainment studios.

Like other audio-visual content streaming devices, FyreTV is expanding mediums as well as content. It is already compatible with major Blue-Ray devices such as Android devices, Roku and BDLive, and is expanding to include the Playstation 3. Users can also purchase the standard device for $89.99, the HD model for $120, or rent it for $9.95 a month with one hundred minutes service.

FyreTV technology has been embedded into the cable box of Polish cable provider Toya, and is compatible with other Broadcom chips.

FyreTV hopes to expand to other entertainment markets based on the technological merits of their product.

Trauben’s Impressions

Well, what to say here, honestly? I can’t speak at all as to the actual content, because that was neither the focus of our interview nor this article. But as a technological device, FyreTV has a decent product here very similar or superior to similar products outside the adult entertainment industry that could easily be leveraged into other industries.

Honestly, I think the potential’s underused for now, and wish them luck in expanding to other markets.

Huneycutt’s Impressions

Obviously a product like this is a departure of sorts for a website with our predilections, but I find the FyreTV product line to be a very competent and well-executed device. Its a handsome unit, somewhere between sleek and chunky but very discreete, small, and easy to connect. Its delivery method is clean and simple and impressive enough that I’d be surprised if they don’t have a good shot at unseating the other similar forms of content aggregation and delivery in this industry.

I feel about the FyreTV line the same way I feel about Valve’s Steam; for enthusiasts of the subject matter they are both great devices, phenomenal aggregators with access massive amounts of content that consumers won’t be able to find in other centralized locations. And like Steam, the FyreBox saves physical space, gives you quick access to the content you own, and the price-points are lower here than through any other legal means of acquisition.

And that last point is a caveat of sorts. Many of the electronic and digital means of entertainment are illegally available through relatively simple means, but this has neither crippled the music, film, television, or adult entertainment industry. There will always be industry enthusiasts and users who are striving for either a simple and convenient means of aggregation, or end-users who are some combination of too frustrated or too scared by the complicated methods of illegal acquisition. These demographics will flock to the FyreBox, especially those who value high-end aesthetic, and a broad-span of content and privacy.

And finally, I have to give credit to FyreTV for hitting on an exceedingly lucrative market. The adult entertainment industry is by nature a world of opportunists, and while I can’t believe no-one beat FyreTV to its punch, I’m certainly impressed by their ability to clearly identify a need and meet it with solid tech and well-thought service.

I’m looking very much forward to the future progress of FyreTV, and you can count on us to bring you news of their new tech and expansion into other fields of entertainment.
